I didn't have this new lever on my bike a month before I lowsided avoiding an inattentive driver coming out of a fast food parking lot. Bike slid 30 yards on the right side snapping off the clip-on but the lever only has a little rash on the end of it and never snapped off. I broke two oem levers over the past 11 years from my bike tipping over but this one survived 100x worse and never broke or bent. The CRG lever worked exactly as advertised.
